PARENT ORIENTATION
The aim was to familiarize the parents, as partners in progress, with the
curriculum, rules and regulations of the school, teaching methodologies
and the co-scholastic activities. The programme commenced with a warm
welcome to parents. Studies show, that when families are involved in the
education of children in positive ways, the children maximize on their
untapped potential attitude and behaviour.
Keeping this in mind, our Greendale International school organises parent
orientation programme before the start of every Academic Session. The
principal enlightens the gathering by walking through the vision and
philosophy of the school. She also introduces the entire academic,
administrative and support staff to the parents. Also regular parent
teacher meets are conducted in order to update the parents about the
performance of students from time to time.
